I'll be checking that site when I rebuild my '84 axle.

 

nice thanks for the info but whats you think on the axle it self?

 

Strip it down to the axle tube and sand blast it...you might have a few usable/salvageable parts, but looks rusted pretty bad.

 

its not really that bad when your looking at it though but i was goin gto strip it down and get your sas install kit wabfab is there anything else i would need from you man? other then the rear 4in lift springs with the 4in sas kit?

 

youll need an axle rebuild kit
and some por15 paint
and lots of elbow grease

 

yes big t this i do lol but heres a nice update just cause i couldnt let it sit out back and not get playied with....

got the drivers side calper off and boy was that fun it was sized on there but i got it off then i started to mess with the hub just cause i fingered out that it locks but dont wanna unlock you know go free so i pulled off the hub and what do you know it was filled to the rim with grease so i think after i rebuild it she will be sitting fine!!!

 

yup just needs a cleaning and rebuild!

 

anyone live near milwaukee WI that wants to help????? he he

 

you got lots of time those s.a.s kits are lots of saving!!!!
just follow the book with a rebuilt kit and youll be a pro by the time your done

First thing I would do is disassemble it and make sure those shafts slide in and out easily...... since you said you dont know about the origination of the axle

 

Get THEE Hubs to Wab FAB ASAP. Don't screw those up. Well worth it to have Brian Re-build and powder coat for that matter. As far as rust goes. Meh... I have seen MUCH worse... (Ahem TC)

 

Seriously, strip it down to the knuckle balls, pull the diff and clean that thing up for an SAS (sandblast it). Cut off all the unneeded brackets, weld on the new ones (put the diff back in before welding) and then Industrial Rustoleum the thing.

All you need is knuckle rebuild kit and other parts depending on how rusted they are (wheel hubs, spindles, calipers, manual hubs, etc. )

 

See if you can get it as clean as mine.

 

dirt boy thats a driver side drop whats you going to use that one for?

but yeah my god what did you use to get it that pretty?

 

thanks guys and girls for all the help i will be striping her down to nothing and cleaning cleaning cleaning and did i say cleaning? then im thinking of painting it black or what about the ceramic green that i did my roll bar on the axle? is that to much green?
